Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

Creating presentations with Node.js

By jettro, on June 15th, 2011

I am learning about Node.js. While learning I usually create a few demo’s. Another thing I am attending a training for is learning how to give good presentations. I had to prepare a 10 minute presentation. Would be nice if I could combine the learning about Node.js with the 10 minute presentation. I decided to create a Node.js application to give the presentation. So no Keynote for me this time.

In this blog post I present you an additional sample, focussed on creating presentations as a programmer. I’ll use a few node.js modules: Jade, Express.

On my employers blog I wrote an extensive article about Node.js, you can have a look at the article as well.

Installing Node.js on my new Synology

By jettro, on April 4th, 2011

About a week a go I bought myself a Synology. A very nice product with reasonable value for money. Especially if you consider the options you have if you are not scared to get your hands dirty. Agreed the graphical admin console is nice, but the linux options are even nicer. I wanted to have a cheap solution to host a node.js server at home. In the end I am glad I made the choice for this model.

In this blog post I will provided as much steps that I can remember and or wrote down while installing a node.js server on my Synology. This was not the easiest thing I have ever done. If I can help some others that want to get more out of their Synology my hours of work are worth it.

First steps with Node.js

By jettro, on March 16th, 2011

With a colleague I was talking about Node.js. My first though, “yeah right, JavaScript on the server!”. But you have to be open minded if you want to learn new stuff. Therefore I thought about giving it a spin. I started looking for resources on the web, read a few of them and ended up at the article : express-mongo. This article was the beginning of my Node.js journey.

In this blog item I want to show you the steps I took, the resources I found useful and some improvements to the article that seems a bit outdated. It is not an explanation of what Node.js is, but it does provide some help to get started on your own.
